About Me

I’m 32 and haven’t been thin since the second grade. I’ve tried every diet imaginable but I always yo-yo back to around 220 lbs. I’ve struggled with weight my entire life and I’m ready to make real changes to finally lose the weight once and for all. I feel like every year that passes is time I’ve wasted and get never get back. I’m sick of wasting time and tired of the yo-yo roller coaster.

I, of course, want to lose the weight to look better, to feel better. I want to be strong and fit. I want to be more adventurous and become the girl that goes for hikes and bike rides instead of sitting on the couch watching tv. But, more importantly, I need to be healthy. My entire family is overweight. Most of my mom’s family have diabetes. My mom was diabetic, had a stroke, was on dialysis, and passed away recently due to complications from an additional stroke. My dad’s family has a history of heart disease. He had to have bypass surgery a few years ago. I already have high blood pressure. I have finally get serious about getting healthy. Here’s my attempt to do just that.
